The story in itself is simplistic and it could come out as a positive but unfortunately it doesn't. The script for each episode in its core is the same. Tanjiro gets a mission from a crow to eliminate a demon in a city, he goes there and kills them. There should really be something in between all of that but to call it something or to even mention it would be too much praise, alas I will.
There is a pathetic attempt to try to make you sympathize with the demons being slain, and honestly, if you do sympathize with the demons, great... I guess. If you don't, no worries you're perfectly sane and not easily taken advantage of.
To give some credit, Tanjiro's training was interesting in itself and had more depth than any other moment in the series.
The art and music in this series is phenomenal and all credit goes to Ufotable and their amazing staff, hoping their next project delivers the same quality as they have in the past.
Characters get a five out of ten and that's what they feel like most of the time, characters with questionable design (particularly the pillars) and with one dimensional personalities. The main trios humour scenes are basically the same joke over and over again, Zenitsu being a borderline perv, Tanjirou shunning him and boar head guy being clueless, much like the fans of this show.
All that aside I'm rating the anime a five out of then thanks to its animation and... eh. Thanks to its animation.
PS. If someone hypes up episode 19 to you, ill give you a spoiler free summary of the episode, so you don't get dissapointed. It's the same as the other episodes, with higher animation quality, and well inserted music and a classic shounen power escalation.
